I want to teach a free school workshop series this winter. Designers, community organizers, humans—especially those inclined to use your new skills for good—are there special topics or certain tools related to web design you'd excitedly attend a free workshop to learn?

A spider showed up near the side entry way. It is a very clever spider. It spins its web across the glowing window every evening. Sometimes the outside light is left on and it attracts a bounteous smorgasbord.

Dear Person Who Set Out a Cooler of Ice Cold Water for Those on the Billy Wolf Trail on September 20, 2014:

You do not know it, but I love you. I think you might be my favorite human in the entire world.

You saved me from heat sickness when I casually set out for a mid-day, seven-mile run while stupidly under-hydrated and oblivious to the fact that it really was not fall yet no matter how much I tried to convince myself. There were still plenty of Nebraska summer leftovers to be had.

Sadly, I was unable to get back to the trail to leave you a thank you note before the cooler had disappeared. I wanted to let you know of my deep gratitude and that, even though I will never be certain of your true identity, I will forever imagine you as a caped hydration hero with 100% pure kindness oozing from your heart.

This is your heart

I hope this note somehow finds its way to you.

Thanks again for you undeniable awesomeness and thoughtfulness of human strangers who happen to be me,

I've intended to donate for quite some time and never really had any good reason why I hadn't yet except for maybe that it's far too much work to walk across the house (and maybe even up the stairs!) to retrieve my debit card. However, after the magic cooler incident I had that cliché itch to 'pay it forward' and finally followed through.

If you're not familiar with what's going on or how these initiatives are helping, I encourage you to give it a moment of your Internet time.

We have pet rabbits. Many of them. We've been feeding them well with the bounty of our garden. They've feasted on beans, peas, peppers, melon vines, and sunflowers. They must not be fans of tomatoes, corn, and squash. This is pretty much all they have left untouched. They are adorable, but since they've leveled the veggies we might have to opt for rabbit for dinner instead.

This is the first year I've undertaken a gardening endeavor of this size and extent. I started seeds, built beds, and established a compost. I set out to learn about the layout of the garden, challenges and advantages of the site, my own limitations, etc. It's definitely already been a year of lessons, and they'll continue into the fall as I try my hand at winter gardening.
